Toby Kieth a Western Democrat ? He says so .......
Toby Keith and the West
The Big Strategy

It came out last summer that Toby Keith was a Democrat, but not exactly a Democrat that would be campaigning for John Kerry though, but that doesn't mean he doesn't campaign other Democrats. Take Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry:

Keith feels he’s been unfairly portrayed by the media and his critics as a hardcore right winger. While he’s backed the American troops in his songs and supported President Bush’s re-election, he describes himself as a conservative Democrat who doesn’t always agree with the administration.

Back in Oklahoma where he and his wife of 21 years, Tricia, live with their three children, he’s campaigned for Democratic candidates including Gov. Brad Henry.

‘‘I get brushed with this big, gigantic red, white and blue brush. But I don’t mind,’’ he says. ‘‘I look good in red, white and blue.’’

I just recently heard about Keith's political alliances, but this has a lot to say about the cultural difference between Western Dems, and I'll admit great plains Dems like Henry. Keith campaigned with Henry to promote increasing funding for education by benefiting the horse racing industry in Oklahoma.

Also, I'll tell you what, they listen to more Toby Keith in Cheyenne and Boise than John Kerry's favorite band.

UPDATE: Keith also endorsed OK Congressman Dan Boren, who sounds a lot like Brian Schweitzer.

‘‘The truth is — and we looked it up — we made a lot more money in the blue states,’’ says Keith, 43, wearing a weathered straw cowboy hat and yellow Western shirt. ‘‘We did more shows in the red states, but we made a lot more cash in the blue states.’’
